I believe in meeting my students where they are. I always have a plan and agenda of what to teach but I allow my students to guide how I teach and how much of a particular subject to teach at one time.

I consider it an honor and a pleasure to teach children. I enjoy making learning fun, creative, and engaging for students. I think it is important to be flexible in individualizing lesson plans because all children learn differently. Promoting an atmosphere of children encouraging one another and building each other up in all areas of learning leads to social and academic success.
I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Broadcasting and English. My educational and career background gave me confidence and experience in research, writing,and communicating with people. Also, I have over 8years teaching experience in the school and childcare setting for students ages 4-6. I have taught language arts, science, and math and tutored in reading.

More About This Tutor...

My experience in education has been wide and full of variety. I began working as a linguistics tutor for the university. I worked with several students over the course of the two years in which I worked for the department. I began my field work at Mt. Morris Junior High School performing my observations. I completed my student teaching at Lapeer West High School, before graduating with a BA in Secondary Education. There, I taught English 12, Mythology, and, perhaps most beneficial to my experience, Literacy Skills, where I was able to work with many students with diverse reading and age levels. I currently work for the Lapeer Family Literacy Center.
When working with an individual student, my teaching style is to focus upon the student and create an individualized plan for how the student learns. I first look to see what kind of learner the student is, whether he/she is a vi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recently have spent the last six months in the Head Start Program as a center teacher. We prepare them for kindergarten. I have taught all grade levels. I currently have a BA with a concentration in K-8 education. Due to online classes, I have written hundreds of research and essay papers using APA style although I have helped my son use MLA which I can write in effectively.
Teaching mainly K-8 on a consistent schedule, I have learned that some students need one-on-one teaching. Being the third teacher in Head Start, I had time to work with individual students. All children were very well prepared for kindergarten. The older children, including High School and Middle School, I would walk around the room and aide them when they were confused. I also had them read the text orally taking turns and we would do the work sheet to prepare for quiz, test or new chapter. I am very pat ... read more
